Best artichoke dip - with hearts of palm

Ingredients

  • Best artichoke dip - with hearts of palm
  • 1 12 oz jar of marinated artichoke hearts
  • 1 can or jar hearts of palm drained ( I have only ever seen these in one size)
  • 1 cup of mayo just get on board people
  • 1 can hatch green chiles
  • 6 whole garlic cloves size based on your love of garlic, I use six average size or four really big ones
  • 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese if you skipped right to the recipe then let me tell you - BUY GOOD PARM, NOT THE CRAP WITH THE GREEN TOP
  • Zest about half a lemon
  • ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes or more depending on how much heat you like
  • Salt and pepper - only a pinch or so of each

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 350.
  • Start by draining the artichoke hearts from all their liquid. Give the artichoke hearts a good fine chop, and the garlic too. Or, and this is what I do,  chop the artichoke hearts and the garlic in a small food processor, about 10 pulses. Put the artichoke hearts and garlic in a bowl. Cut your hearts of palm in half lengthwise and then in quarters lengthwise, and then slice each quarter about ¼ inch thick. Add these to the artichokes.
  • Add the the mayo, can of chiles, a little more than ¾ of the cup of cheese (you just need a little extra for sprinkling on top (or add the whole cup cause you're awesome and use additional for sprinkling on top), lemon zest, red pepper flakes and pinch of salt and pepper to the bowl.
  • Mix together really well, making sure everything is really well blended.
  • Put into a stone, or ceramic or whatever your fave small baking dish is and sprinkle the top with the rest of, or additional parm cheese (this gets nice and brown and delicious). Bake about 35-45 minutes, until it is hot and bubbly and a bit golden on top.
  • We eat this with just about anything, tortilla chips, pita chips, crostini bread, veggies...our hands, spoons...you name it. Just eat it nice and hot.

Notes

Also note - this recipe is super easy to double for a larger group, just increase the baking time a bit for a larger or deeper dish.
